64-Bit Edition for RS Database

I am attempting to install Reporting Services on a 32-bit application server
with the database on another box running SQL Server 2000 "Enterprise Edition
(64-bit)" . I am receiving the following error:
"This edition of the Report Server Database is not supported on the edition
of SQL Server 2000 you have chosen. Please choose ..."
The version I am attempting to install is "Reporting Services Enterprise
Edition". I've verified in the install window that it is the Enterprise
Edition of Reporting Services that I am trying to install. I have verified
that I can connect to the 64-bit server from my application server and my SQL
Login Account has SysAdmin permissions. I ran the SELECT
SERVERPROPERTY('productversion'), SERVERPROPERTY ('productlevel'),
SERVERPROPERTY ('edition') command that I read in another thread and it
returned the following information:
8.00.760 SP3 Enterprise Edition (64-bit)
I'm suspect that the "Enterprise Edition (64-bit)" is the culprit. Has
anyone installed Reporting Services using 64-bit SQL Server 2000 for the
database repository?
Thanks in advance...Setup will not allow you to install using a 64 bit version of SQL. There
are manual steps you can perform to get this to work, but it would require a
32 bit version of SQL.
1) Install RS pointing to the 32 bit version of SQL.
2) move both the ReportServer DB and the ReportServerTemp DB to the 64 bit
version (I don't know what the exact steps are to move a database from a 32
bit to a 64 bit sql, you would have to investigate this)
3) use rsconfig.exe to point RS to the 64 bit version of the catalog

What I found was that I couldn't pull a database from another install of
Reporting Services. Since I had already installed it in our lab environment
on a 32-bit server, I first tried to attach that database. But when I did
that, Reporting Services thought I wanted to join a web farm. Then when I
tried to install it with the .ini file with SQL authentication to create the
database (RSSETUPACCOUNT/RSSETUPPASSWORD), it was not creating the database
(even though the SQL user I was using had SysAdmin permissions). I finally
gave my NT account SysAdmin rights and then it would create the database
(using the default install without an .ini file). Once that was complete,
sure enough, I could just move it to the 64-bit server (using standard
detach/attach). One final step was to give the SQL (or NT) user permissions
in the database (I started with datareader and datawriter).
